It's clear Millie Forte is a man who's felt the pain of a failed relationship. His heart has been broken in the way that many of us have felt. The kind of heartbreak that shakes you to your core, changes you, and changes the way you see love and relationships. It's his greatest source of pain and seemingly his unfailing source of musical inspiration.
On his latest track, "Healing Time," Millie confronts that pain, head on, and let's the pieces of his heart scatter all over his music. Synth waves cascade in and out as horns and whistles blare, and drum patterns gently snap and pound over synth keybords as Millie sings of the life heartbreak has left behind,"I'm broken / Unspoken / The deeper down / Yeah, I love you / You know this / But I just can't love you, now."
Despite his resolve in leaving, it's clear that love still flows for this man as Millie reveals what many would be too hurt or scared to say, "Even though I left / You know my love is still strong, for ya."
This is Millie's "song cry." His mourning for his loss and his desire for peace. Musically, it could be a bit more polished but what's beautiful about the song is Millie's sincerity and the emotion that drives the music. Millie may have yet to make peace with his broken heart, but what he has made is one of his most compelling pieces of work, to date.
